downcast by the decision.
In over ruling the motion, Chief Justice Shell
don said that similar motions had before been
presented TO the court and had always been de-
nled citing case where an ex-iudge of the
court had asked and been denied leave to take
a record to a hotel to look it over during the
night. Captain Black shortly after court ad-
iourned. remarked that he would not have the
responsibility of denying that motion his
head for the word' that the court had only
given them sixty days of life to work on, and
their denying this motion would give the impress
sion abroad that the court did not desire to aid
the seven men in getting justice. One of the
judges, on being told of this remark. said they
did not care what impression went abroad-they

Special TSlegrum to The Register.
WASHINGTON, d. c., January T.
Eustace Gibson is one of the most persist
ent place hunters in Congress. He never
tires in criticising the policy Of the ad-
ministration in keeping Republicans in
office. He has no hesitancy in telling
those already in, what he thinks of what
he styles their cOwardice. He seems to
thrive on this subject. He has, however,
secured more appointments, such as they
are, than all the other West Virginia Dem
ocrats combined. 1t seems to be a fact
that those who abuse the mug
wump policy of some of the officials, get
more consideration at their hands than
those who profess, but who are not sin
cere), to support every act OF the admins
tratiOn. Gibson never hears of a probable
vacancy, where the slightest probability
of getting West Virginian in, is mani
tested, but that he does not at once start
after it. If all Democrats were as persist
ent in behalf OF their constituents as Mr..
Gibson, there is no doubt but that there
would be more of them in office than there
are. Say what you may about Mr. Glib
son, no one can ever accuse him OF ne
glecting the interests Of any one of his
constituents, He has been, and is yet, a
hard worker. He leaves no stone unturn-
ed to serve them. Gibson has faults, but
among them cannot be charged ingrati-
tude, or indifference.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January THE
rooms which Senator Camden occupies at
Wizards Hotel this winter are perhaps
the most conveniently located of any in
Washington. They are on the second floor,
one flight from the ground, with window
looking out on the corner of Penn avenue,
and another on each, Penn avenue and
Fourteenth street. These are the same
rooms that Abraham Lincoln occupied
when he arrived in Washington, prior to
his Inauguration as President. They were
also the rooms assigned to Thomas A. Hen
bricks when he arrived in Washington al
most three years ago to be inaugurated
Vice President. The front or corner room
is used by Mr.. Camden and his private
secretary, as an Office and reception room.
The adjoining room, in the rear, on the
Fourteenth street side, is used as Mr.. Cam
den's sleeping room. Mr.. Camden's fam
lily is not with him this winter, this being
the short session.
Senator Kenna has moved from the
house on Q street last winter, and now re-
sides on Capitol Hill.

SAN FRANCISCO DYNAMITERS

An Alleged Powerful Organization Did

SAN Francisco, CAL, January THE
Examiner this morning publishes letter
from the alleged authors of the dynamite
explosion on the cable road on Ninth street
Wednesday night. The letter is written
in red ink on coarse brick-colored paper,
1t is signed August Howlitz." The let
ter states that parties responsible for the
explosion are members Of a society and
powerful organization which had its birth
in Chicago, directly after the Haymarket
riot, The letter further states that the
dynamiters have no connection with the
Carmen's Union, and that the latter
is evidently ignorant of who the
dynamiters are. The epistle concludes
as follows: 1--WE have a programme laid
out for a series of dynamite explosions

CHtCAGO, January IA special from
lansing Mich. describing the scene of
the Republican Senatorial caucus, last
night, says: On the roll call two Republi-
cans wete absent-Senator Campbell and
Representative Grinnell, of Detroit. Sena-
tor Giddings put Francis P. Stockbridge
in nomination, and a dozen members Of
the caucus indorsed StOckbridge.
Senator BabcOck, of Sanilac county, then
nominated Omar ID. Conger, and spoke
feelingly of the Senator's services in Con-
Tess, and his eighteen years of public life.
Senator Conger," he said, "has filled the
position he now occupies with marked
ability, and it is the duty of the Republi-
cans of Michigan 10 remember his career
and respect him. He was Judge in Mich
igan, Speaker of the House in Michigan,
Congressman for six consecutive terms, and
for six years has been Senator. He has
been in public life for twenty-siX years;
and the people of Michigan owe his debt
of gratit2ie that can never'be repaid ex-
cept by the impulses that now prompt us.
Let u.s." concluded Mr.. Babcock, "honor
Senator Conger with reelection"
After good deal more speech making,
at which the large crowd became impa-
tient, the caucus proceeded to ballot. There
were but four candidates named: Stock
bridge, COnger, Lacey and Fitzgerald. The
first ballot resulted: Ballots cast, 80;
Stockbridge, "a; Conger, %; Lacey, 10;
Fitzgerald, Z. The remainder were scat
tering votes. Jay Hubbell got 4, Gov
ernor Fairfield 2, and the rest were placed
around at the rate of one each. The re-
suit was disappoint all around. Stock
bridge did not get all he expected. Con-
ger got more than even his friends, yester-
day, were willing to concede him, and
Lacey's friends were surprised at his mea-
gre vote.
The second ballot resulted: Stockbridge,
81; Conger, 2l; Lacey, IA; Fitzgerald, g.;
Hubbell, 4; scattering, 3. At this Stock
BRIDGES friends cheered wildly, as he had
gained three votes. On the other hand
Conger had lost two and Lacey gained
four. From the second to the ninth ballot
there was very little change. After the
ninth ballot it began to be seen that the
lines were breaking. One of Lacey's men
got up and proclaimed himself for, Stock
bridge. There was great excitement and
confusion now, and everybody was on his
feet. In the midst of it all the tenth bal
lot was ordered. Quiet was maintained
with difficulty, and the ballots were
counted amidst suppressed excitement.
When the announcement was made that
Stockbridge had 46 votes, nobody waited
to hear more. J. Hubbell instantly jump
ed to his feet and moved that the nomina-
ton be made unanimous by the caucus.
One of Conger's friends warmly seconded
the nomination and the struggle was over.

After an entertaining and exhaustive I'D.

ously applauded by the interested and
critical audience, Messrs. J. Il. Longley,
J. b. McMechen and w. B. Gilmore, Of

titled, "a Little Farm Well Titled"
After the music, Judge G. j.. Cranmcr,
of Wheeling, was introduced, who prefaced
his paper by beautiful tribute to his M

eye, >" and he said "My foot Is on my native
heath" in imitation Of the famous Nc

Judge Cranmer had for his topic, "Some
Dangers TO be Ayerted," and in the hours
time he occupied, he won the goodwill and
hearts of his hearers. Among the dangers
to be averted mentioned by him, were the
dangers of our government falling into the
hands Of the few through their wealth,
and cited the hold the railroad m0nopolists
had on Congress as an example; the remedy
is in the ballot. He referred 10 the Stand
ard Oil Company's alleged bribing of Legis-
latures, and electing United States Sena-
tOrs-the same remedy as above. He re-
ferred 10 the dangers growing ont of the
boycott, and the dangers Of supplanting

growing out Of fintemperance, aud the hold
the liquor associations had upon the law.

they swayed in politics. He characterized
the danger Of pernicious literature indis-
criminately scattered and read by our.
youth as the crowning danger. The
remedy for this and or oil
other dangers mentionrd, In fart,
was the study Of thst Book Of Books,
